Homogeneous Manifolds in Codimension Two Revisited
Abstract
In this paper we study Riemannian homogeneous submanifolds of Euclidean spaces in codimension two. If the index of relative nullity of the second fundamental form is relatively low, we prove that the submanifold is a product where is either isometric to a sphere or to a compact isoparametric hypersurface of the sphere or covered by . For homogeneous Einstein manifolds we obtain a complete classification which improves the result in [1].
